accurate. so, you know, there's two things with this dry weather, because we need the rain; but you know, for many folks, they like being able to go outside and enjoy it. >> it is nice, and the water table is still fine. that's actually the key. so we're going to get some showers in here eventually. don't see any really the next 5 days, any consequence. let's talk about the dry weather. if you add up the rainfall we've had so far for the month, about a quarter inch. so we're over an inch and a half behind for september. but the good news is you see this plus sign, we're still almost 5 inches above for the year. now you go back farther into august, the last 37 days, we've only had 8,5000ths. that's a fairly dry streak the right now it's 80. dew point's still in the 0s, which makes humidity comfortable, 48%, winds out of the south at 9. still cool enough tonight to rest the ac. not as cool as it has been. remember, monday and tuesday morning, we're in the 0s. we'll see 50s in the burbs. in fact, bus stop temperatures, 56, about 76. then a bit warm tomorrow, but

still nice. humidity still in check. the weekend looks dry. outdoor plans are safe. saturday will be warmer than sunday. the cool front goes through late saturday night. unfortunately it's going to go through dry. 10:00 tonight, 60s to low 7 0s. maybe 69 in guinnessburg, 68 in frederick, 67 in culpepper. 70 in cumberland. by morning, most folks in the 50s, 58 gaithersburg. wheaton, almi, upper 50s. fairfax, manassas, leesburg, upper 50s. by 9:00, we're near 70 with sun. by afternoon, fantastic, low to mid-80s. even 84 in romney. still a gorgeous, gorgeous day. to put things in perspective, this is a little warmer than average. our average high 79, 80. we're looking at temperatures in the mid-, upper 80s tomorrow. by 6:00, though, we fall back in the low 80s, and friday night is going to be just about perfect if you want to do something outside. it will be comfortable, but not

too cool. 70 in -- 9:30, 68 frederick, about 71 in leesburg. so for tonight, looks like this, clear and cool again. open the windows. 56 to 66 with light winds. lows after tonight, we think we'll be 5 in rocksville, 58 in laurel and college park, maybe 57 also in billy, but 56 in manassas and haymarket, and also leesburg. so all the day planner, we're right around 70 at 9:00, 78 at 11:00, 83 at 1:00, purr sun. so warm and nice on saturday, 86. in fact 86 tomorrow, 86 on saturday. i got some clouds here, a little shower indicate late at night. front goes through. i don't think we'll see anything, maybe a sprinkle. it will lower temperatures, though, for sunday. temperatures near 80 on sunday. so warm for the turps, upper 80s, warm for d.c. united saturday night. and not quite as warm at fedex on sunday. next 7 days, we got showers on monday and tuesday and wednesday for the pope. i don't think this is going to be a huge deal.

a better chance of showers will be thursday with highs back around 80. if you play an nfl game on sunday and then again on thursday, there's not a lot of time to practice. 1 day of semi hitting, which explains why a lot of football games have been good for insomniacs, snorefest. but tonight's is worth watching. tonight is worth watching, guaranteed. roccos issues chiefs. a good one. payton manning, 13-1. 6-0 as a bronco the lately he's been throwing a football like an untrained horse. a lot of flutter balls. they didn't in the preseason. not very manning like. getting the ship ready tonight in can arizona is . city manning knows that will not be easy. >> we're 1-0, chiefs are 1-0. they're coming off a really good win. a lot of things are really good. houston team beating them pretty soundly at their

place. and, you know, home opener, just like it was for us last week. crowd is into it, players are fired up. it's really -- the nfl really wanted to challenge us this year. can arizona is city chiefs, their place 4 days later. >> yeah. i'm thinking this one is going to be good. all right. skins don't play until sunday, but never too early to think about the papa john's key ingredient for the game ongoing with the offensive line and al fred morris against the rams. that's the key ingredient. if they can run the ball, they can take the starch out of that rams defense, which has a lot of starch in it. it could happen. washington ran for 8 yards a pop against the dolphins. nobody thought that was going to happen. offensive line, and al fred morris playing well on sunday, and they are my key ingredient. papa john's key ingredient come sunday. back to tonight's game, i think it's going to be must watch television. payton manning didn't play well in week 1. everyone thinks he might be getting a little old. i think he's going to have a

big game tonight. >> how old is he? . >> thirty-nine, i think. right up there. >> in football years, it really is. >> thirty-nine, 80 in football ♪ we pick california tomatoes when they're ripe, and then pack them into our sauce in about six hours... we don't think it makes things easier. we think it makes things better. ♪
